ok lah, everyone got their own way of doing things lah.. Im trying to accept the 'DIE DIE SELL TIX' system. Sorry to Freemansland for criticising you, esp. kai sheng! 
Hope we all can come out with a damn good system which can make everyone happy
And apollogise to GUYrence too.
cheers peeps.
Hope to see the local scene prosper. and more people will come and listen to our musics. Seriously, if theres a big market in singapore, all this wont happend. Hope big sponsors/brands will come and help the scene. *hint*
OK CHaoss..

No such thing as a free lunch...
Don't see it happening though. There were some initiatives; some of the DGOs are working on it. Kudos to them. And no, eyeballs at brand banners during shows are not enough. Stop thinking all brands/ companies just want something as simple as that. Usually,most companies want a detail media plan of your event, etc.
Btw, music is a singular noun. No such thing as musics, stuffs, sheeps, etc.

ticket sales are no problem if you're good.
but if you need to absorb some of the cost, you're basically paying (subsidising) people to come for your gig.
if you're paying people to come for your gig, you may sell tickets but you're making a loss (and you may not be that good).
making a loss is not very smart, but hey at least organizers can make money off you.
the 2nd cutest post i've ever read in soft...
1st 1 was selling lyrics... cute sial... morning laugh for me in the office.

i really like the scene now, as compared to 10 - 15 years back.
it doesn't matter cuz i'm selling them to friends anyway. and the subsidy is aimed more for the younger crowd who dont happen to have much money or have cash flow problems. its a way to get more publicity and to make more connections also.
besides, organisers dont really make money from organising gigs, its usualyl a measly sum compared to what they really deserve for collaborating with the venue managers and for all the effort put in to coordinating and pulling off the whole event.it works both way, they get to make some money and we get to showcase our band.
besides, i personally wont play a gig unless i'm 100% confident that we cna pull off the songs and also put on a good show. no point playing a gig if u know u suck and just sell tickets to get a spot right?

With regards to raman post.Firstly, i think you misinterpreted the system of Freemansland. I did not emphasis on ticketing for concert only showcase. Just put it this way, since you actually have disagreement with the model i m following. Why not you do a band showcase with small bands and not give them a quote to hit? Please mind your magician and dancer post cause it could be really insulting.
I think aging youth really make senses, that's how reality works. Why would a sponsor wan to endorse a brand, especially when the government only spends so little to maintain the art scene.Cause frankly, art scene is not a money-making industry in singapore.Its just there to make singapore look perfect with all the different cultures so maybe good values can be incorporated.
Sometimes in life is not so much about having all black and white looking so good on the papers.Just makes it easier to do a presentation to the directors in the business-world. I think communism and democracy would be a perfect example as well.
